We take apart what it's already time to talk about: how society, technology and our picture of reality are shifting.https://timeparallax.com/en/https://timeparallax.com/en/articles/ai-escape-socket/https://timeparallax.com/en/articles/ai-escape-socket/AI cannot hide: megawatts, chips and money are all visible. The real scenario is worse and duller: a system nobody switches off because everything depends on it, built not by an escaped AI but by the company that owns it.

The bill belongs to the organisation that chose the technology and profits from it.Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://timeparallax.com/en/articles/why-ai-answer-feels-cheap/https://timeparallax.com/en/articles/why-ai-answer-feels-cheap/We judge the same answer differently depending on how much effort we think it took and who helped formulate it.Sun, 13 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT
